Does better than most of GOP field versus President
LAKE JACKSON, Texas – A new Gallup poll of registered voters shows 2012 presidential candidate Ron Paul locked in a tight race with President Obama. Ron Paul is tightly competitive versus President Obama, doing better than a majority of the other Republican contenders. The poll gives Paul 45 percent of the vote versus the incumbent president in a head-to-head matchup.
“This push for true leadership over the status quo is gaining more support,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Manager John Tate. “In poll after poll, Americans are eager for real change and looking for a leader who stands for individual liberty and limited government, and who follows the Constitution.”
Paul is coming off of a strong finish in the Iowa Straw Poll, where he barely missed the top spot by less than one percent. In addition, recent surveys taken in both New Hampshire and Iowa show the Congressman in the top three of Republican contenders.
The Gallup survey, conducted August 17-18, shows Paul only 2 points behind Obama in a general election match up. In a similar head to head survey from last year done by Rasmussen, Paul actually drew a statistical dead heat with the President. And earlier this year in a survey by CNN, he did the best out of the other Republicans put up against Obama in a head-to-head poll.

Dr. Paul to make five stops to speak, meet voters
ANKENY, Iowa – The Iowa component of the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced today that Ron Paul will return to Iowa on Saturday, August 27th, two weeks after his historic near-first place showing at the Ames Straw Poll.
Dr. Paul will greet Republican voters in Madison County, sign copies of his book Liberty Defined, grant an in-studio interview to Iowa Public Radio, speak at the Iowa Corn Growers Annual Meeting and attend the Polk County Republican Summer Picnic.
Dr. Paul’s visit takes place two weeks after his historic showing at the consequential Ames Straw Poll. Dr. Paul won 4,671 votes at Ames, topping Governor Mitt Romney’s vote total from 2007 and drawing a near statistical tie with winner Michele Bachmann at 27.6 percent of the vote versus 28.5 percent. Dr. Paul’s finish earned him a strong second place and it was the fourth highest vote total ever received by a candidate at the important test of candidate strength.
“We are so pleased to again welcome Dr. Paul to Iowa, particularly in the aftermath of his respectable showing at the Ames Straw Poll,” said Iowa campaign chairman Drew Ivers.
“This next visit of Dr. Paul’s and future visits will enable the Iowa team to build upon past successes while redoubling our efforts on behalf of our candidate, who is the number one family-friendly champion of the Constitution,” said Mr. Ivers.
Details of the events are as follows. All times CDT.

Moline, IL - State Representative Rich Morthland (R-Cordova) announced his re-election campaign for the 71st Illinois House District on Thursday, August 18th:
"My wife of 32 years, Betsey, and I entered the political realm in 2007 because we understood the importance of bringing balance to our local political environment. We took that very balance to Springfield and helped create the environment that produced a better Illinois budget process. We have seen successes both locally and in the General Assembly, but the job is far from over."
"As a member of the House Higher Education Appropriations Committee, I participated directly in the process of creating a balanced budget with a responsible, open, and transparent course of action that Illinois has not witnessed in decades."
"I have worked hard to represent my constituents - the working families and senior citizens of the 71st District. By teaming up with members of Congress, the Governor, and others, I am striving to bring jobs to the 71st. I have sponsored numerous bills and resolutions to help improve the jobs climate in Illinois."
"Our key legislation for my first session was House Bill 3500, legislation that is protecting the identities and other personal information of Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Card holders. The companion legislation, House Resolution 89, launched an audit of the Illinois State Police and their administration of the FOID card program. Together, this legislative package is providing us with information we deserve and the freedoms we need."
"I am running for re-election because there is much more work to do. We must continue to fight for a fiscally responsible budget that does not spend more money than the State takes in. We must improve the jobs climate to get Illinois working again. And we must continue the effort to reform Springfield, to put a stop to political corruption and restore the people's trust in their government."
"We've only begun. Let's keep moving in the right direction."
